| Günesi bilmez ayi bilmez | He knows not sun, nor dreams the moon exists, |
| Ask cölünde zayii bi kayibim ben | I roam a lost shade, a wanderer astray upon love’s wasteland, |
| Haykirmaksa aski en ayibi | To cry aloud of love—most naked shame of all, |
| Kullar arasinda en ayibým ben | Among the throng of mortals, I am shame’s own name, |
| Ne eser ne hasar kaldi | No trace endures, no wound remains upon the sand, |
| Ýnan askimdan | Believe—my fire is born of love alone, |
| Ne arar ne sorar vefasiz o zalim yar | You, ruthless beloved, neither seek nor call my name, |
| Bu kadar mi e bu kadar mi | Is this the measure, is this all you hold? |
| Acimasiz oldun sen | Pitiless, you are stone beneath your silks, |
| Bu kadar mi e bu kadar mi | Is this the measure, is this all you hold? |
| Özledinde aramadin neden | You longed, yet never reached across the dusk—why? |
| Bu kadar bu kadar bu kadar mi sevdin | Was this the breadth, the depth, the sum of what you loved? |
| Bu kadar mi buraya kadarmi | Is this the end, the edge to which you led me? |
| Bana verdigin sözler nerede | The vows you gave—where in the night did they vanish? |
| O kadar mi öyle kolaymi | Was it so little, was it thus so easy to forget? |
| Kalbim kirik ama hala sende | My heart lies splintered, yet it still beats in your palm, |
| Buraya kadar | So far, and here the road is done |
